[@ArcaneWonders]

thank you - I will see about adding them to the video itself

[@blakecurry3880]

You're the real governor, bruv.

[@darkminerproductions]

Thank you so much for working on this so hard for such a long time! As disappointing as it may be to wait all these years as a backer, I know how much more discouraging it must have been to have this project fall farther and farther behind schedule. I know from some of my own creative projects that once they are behind schedule it becomes incredibly disheartening every time I am reminded of them and even harder to actually work on the project. So I want to thank you all for sticking with this all these years and not just cutting your losses and giving up. I am so very grateful for all of the work you and the team have put into delivering on your promises and making this a great game! I cannot wait to paint all those fantastic minis and play the game!

[@bekkison]

Everything looks top notch! I can't wait to get my hands on this; it was worth the wait!

[@humanpaul]

Seeing the miniatures from Tactics being used as the prototype makes absolute sense. Before I decided to go with the option with painted miniatures, I literally thought about not getting the miniatures and just using the Tactics ones, but then found out that there are way more characters from Sentinels in Freedom Five.

[@DopeGaminG_cQ]

BUNKER LOOKS AMAZING! I cannot wait to play this bad boy I went all-in and I really hope the next project brings in my all time favorite SotM hero Tempest so I can take on his arch nemesis Voss! I can’t wait to see how dynamic his mini turns out(praying that he is indeed next up), and also hoping for the Void Guard not too far behind. I will support you guys till the very end, this game deserves all the expansions leading up to OblivAeon, hopefully the artist(s) is still on board because the art for this game is among the best I have ever seen for a board game!

[@Lonewolf8611]

I agree, I would love to see a Rook City map along with Insula Primalis, and other major environments. Prime Wardens and Dark Watch and the Southwest Sentinels/Void Guard would also be an awesome addition, as well as the hero versions of past villains, like Stuntman and Luminary.

[@DopeGaminG_cQ]

@@Lonewolf8611I’m hoping they all get released eventually for the fans, aside from the unfortunate delays the team here and now really put in effort to make sure we got our game. I just hope Robert and company stay excited to deliver more content for us 🙏🏼

[@KBrandes]

Really excited for this to arrive! great unboxing!

[@Chozo_hybrid]

Thanks for a in depth unboxing, I am really looking forward to this getting to me in NZ :D

[@swkdb]

I got my copy today and the only thing I'm wondering is why is there not enough action tokens to put all the starting action tokens in with each character

[@samuelstockton2252]

Man this looks awesome! Excellent work here!

[@KickstarterRadio1024]

Awesomesauce, can't wait to get it on the table.. hope your rib gets better soon! And have fun at Gencon!

[@stevekaylor7089]

fun fact: this is the first appearance in any board game of Mr Jitters

[@nobbynobbs8182]

The retail box looks interesting to pick up. The Kickstarter edition is gorgeous but I don't think I'll have to room for it

[@nurseruben5431]

This video has restored my faith in Arcane Wonders!😊

[@joelbergvonlinde1389]

Looks great! Looking forward to seeing it in person :)

[@perwesterlund1725]

I guess the henchmen can be laid flat so that their one sidedness is not so apparent and the printing shows more compared to when standing up and being viewed from a players perspective.

[@deathgrip509]

How are we supposed to use the trays in the boxes. There's no instructions in the rule book or on the box or separate instruction that I can find.

[@jesusaparicio5595]

bueno, a ver si nos llega pronto

[@theMikeKop]

Can't remember if this was ever mentioned, would the sleeve packs be available for retail? Any way to combine the contents of the retail boxes together, or if were to use the inserts they would need to stay in their boxes? No matter if all in base box or not.

[@petergross7235]

It's been a journey. I almost teared up when I hit my play button.

[@Slyfox1775]

Man can’t wait for my painted ks copy

[@KingGhidorah_]

Man. The only thing that I would've liked to see, but you didn't cover, was the total footprint that the "All-In" pledge level has. I'd like to know before hand how much shelf space all the boxes will take up. How many spaces in my Kallax.

[@LordBollocks]

I see why you wanted the player boards to be cardstock. It doesn’t look like the cards and tokens that overlap the boards will lay flat on the punchboard.

[@aqilmuhammad-x7v]

Will the Kickstarter edition be available outside of USA or Canada?

[@TheBanzaiTree]

Call me OCD, but I spotted a few details when looking at the retail token punchboards compared to what's listed in the retail rulebook and on your website: - there appear to be 29 Action tokens total on the 3 retail punchboards, as opposed to the 25 in the KS version and in the retail rulebook. - there appears to be 1 extra green Anarchy token (5 instead of 4) in retail - or is there something else on the back of that one? - Unity's Construct token and Chrono's Marked token (which are in the core box in the KS version) don't appear to be in the retail core box... I saw the Construct token in the Rubble & Ruin box, but I didn't see any punchboards in the Guise And Chrono-Ranger team-up pack... so where did the Marked token go? - With those two tokens in mind, the retail rulebook says there are 13 scenario tokens... but I have no idea how to get to that number (what is and isn't included)... I see 3 quest tokens, 1 MDP token, 1 Construction token, 1 Frozen token (for AZ) and 9 explosion tokens... that adds up to a lot more than 13!?!

[@perwesterlund1725]

A little underwhelmed by the FX Tokens they might be getting a wash or somethin in my copy, they looked a little flat in the video (may be due to lightning/camera of course) and I also thought some of them would be translucent plastic, such as the freeze tokens and something else, some if the yellow ones. But, I'm looking forward to getting this to ths table, and I understand this has been a monumental task to finish!

[@ArcaneWonders]

some of them are translucent - maybe didn't come through on video well

[@user-cs9sy6zc2i]

Looks very cool. I know you worked so hard on that insert but I know I will be reorganizing the whole thing and I will make it fit. One question: How does the size of the KS box compare to The Black Brick(tm) from the original SotM game?

[@ScytheNoire]

Yeah, this will be another game where a 3D printed insert will be required to make things fit properly. Definitely not a Game Trayz or Black Magic insert, as they usually do things right.

[@user-cs9sy6zc2i]

@@ScytheNoire I almost never find any inserts worth while. I may save some portion of one here or there but even the 'best' frequently don't organize things how I like. And a Gametrayz insert costs as much as a whole game half the time. 🤣

[@jimz8852]

This all looks great. I can't wait to get this and play it in person! Thanks for this great video! Question though: In the scenario comic book vol. 1 (at least in the PDF I downloaded from the KS update a couple of months ago), for Scenario 1, it says to shuffle in 7 Justice Rules the Night Cards. But in this video, you say there are only 6. So should Scenario 1 be using 6 or 7 of those cards? Thanks again!

[@robertgeistlinger8753]

6 is correct. Old one was incorrect.

[@jimz8852]

@@robertgeistlinger8753 Thanks! So excited for this!

[@jwspiker]

trying to sort out where to put the tokens

[@scurry2175]

Some of the human faces are letdown. Huge pity for how long we've waited after being promised... When Unity's face appears at 1:20:39, I was like "You sure you like it?!"

[@Drakthal100]

Everything looks really cool. Quick question It sounds like at least part of whats in the envelopes are new things for the different characters at least the original 5. So my question is Does other characters like the 3 remaining KS characters, the 2 in the extra box and the 2 in the cosmic Threats also unlock things on the way or are they more 1 and done in terms of unlocks?

[@foofire72]

Any plans to film a game play of this physical copy?

[@borjaboraita5596]

Well done, Robert. Nice video. Thank you. I´m so hyped with this boardgame. Did I just hear you right, is the core KS box 27cm high?

[@stevekaylor7089]

i understand it may have been too late in printing, but i'm a little sad Unity's Chatacter card didn't get updated to have her Construct setup information on it. Scholar does for his tokens that start in play, and no one else's starts in play so they have instructions for when to bring them in. (i.e.. Young Legacy's Smash or AZ's Freeze). Yes, I understand it just starts in her location, but nowhere does it actually say that in the rules i've looked at. For what it's worth, i'd pay for an update pack if they ever get reprinted with that fixed on her character card.

[@aurelienbois2087]

Are the games ready to be shipped ? Already shipped ?

[@127JamesS]

As per the last Kickstarter update (#71- July 20), the games are being packed and are expected to be on boats within the next couple of weeks.

[@Tampahop]

Sad panda... big fan of Sentinels, but just finding out about this. Will this be available at some point retail?

[@Chozo_hybrid]

Yeah, it will be at retail. Missing some of the KS exclusive goodies, but not missing any characters etc iirc

[@nicodede62]

Well, I'm going to be negative again, but where are we going to store all these tokens? Weren't the 2 heroes in the outer box supposed to fit into one of the two boxes???? What's the weight of your sleeves, because I thought I'd sleev them with paladin mark, but seeing how little space there is left (outside the character boxes), I'm afraid it won't fit (100 micron). Where are the semi-translucent dice? The meeples look pretty poor, only printed on one side...

[@ArcaneWonders]

The 2 community chosen Team Up heroes were unfortunately not ever going to be able to get into the main box or the cosmic box. I don't believe Walter ever promised that - that I know of. The weight of our sleeves is .1 mm or 100 micron so you are good. There are 2 card wells in the bottom of the tray. It is intended that the envelopes move up to the slots in the lid underneath where the heroicFX pack goes (if you have it), but are packed below for shipping. The Heroic translucent dice are shown around the 1:55 mark in the video. Not sure how to respond to the meeples as they were always spec'd by the previous team as single sided printing as double-sided would have more than doubled their cost.

[@Chozo_hybrid]

@@ArcaneWonders I never recall it being said the community heroes would fit in the main boxes either. Glad to hear the sleeves will be good. I am unsure I have ever played a game with meeples that have prints on both sides. ROOT certainly doesn't and it's never affected my enjoyment of a game.

[@MatthewJohnsonA]

@@ArcaneWondersit’s on the main page of the Kickstarter, Cosmic Threats “also includes” graphic, as well as in text on update 23 when Cosmic Threats was announced.

[@nicodede62]

Thanks, i'm not crazy... I'd have to track down the information and the exact timing, but I also remember that while we were waiting a long time, this promise was in the pipeline!

[@nicodede62]

@@ArcaneWonders Let's take a look at news #34. First image of this news, we see clearly and it's written black on white with an arrow pointing to the extension. “FITS INSIDE”. And I remember discussions about it, but it was so long ago that I couldn't go back and check all the comments. Any answers to that? I thought I only had 2 boxes at home and not a 3rd with just 2 characters. But hey, the damage is done... Edit: And thanks for the timeline on the dice. I hadn't seen them, sorry for the mistake.

[@the13th]

As I watch this today I am sad and crying its the first time Ive heard about it :'( Guess retail only for me what a shame

[@danielsmerdel8214]

I know there are people who are frustrated with how long the KS took to fulfill and plan to sell their copy once they get it. Try to keep an eye out or maybe ask in the general comments of the KS campaign
